I would probably have zero issues with the D7100 so I guess it is just more personal preference really. Well that and I am not in the market budget wise to buy a new body anyways at this point.

The wheels are coming, I'll just be having to wait until March-ish to order them. What I'm not looking forward to is the 4+ month wait after I order them. I've never heard of a case of any shop having 10j +45 randomly in-stock in Mag Blue.
I've never had to wait for wheels but that 4 month wait just sounds terrible I'd be pulling my hair out

The lexus is getting some treatment this week.


Ordering some r1 concepts cross drilled/slotted rotors for all four corners, and she is getting new front lower ball joints because she was feeling awkward on the highway and that's what the problem was as determined by Firestone. Gonna find someone that can get us some pmu brake pads as well with a quickness. The undertray that was hanging low was fixed.

Thank for asking guys and it was pretty good. I won't be doing cmp next week though, instead I'm using the money to buy my wheels. Also I got my coilovers in Saturday, but, they sent me the wrong rear type. I needed forks instead they sent me eyelits -____- so now I gotta send the rears back and wait another 2 weeks to put them on which doesn't bother me because it gives me time to get Terran to roll my fenders and have them pulled before I slam the car

Did anyone recognize the picture posted on the StanceNation FB page this morning?

I've been fostering a 6 month old black lab/German Shepard mix for the past 3 weeks and she just got adopted yesterday... It was tough to say goodbye, I guess I got a little attached to her.... Good news is I'm going to pick up a 8 month old female full blood black lab today to foster again. I love dogs... And blondes.. Dogs=blondes

Glad to hear you are fostering it is a great thing to do if you can. It is definitely very hard to say goodbye for sure. I have grown attached to pretty much everyone of them we have had. I even regret not adopting 1 or 2 as well but there will be more of them. We will probably have this one for a while as she has heart worm unfortunately and getting them adopted until they have beat it is usually hard.

Yeah its definitely a learning experience and good for me too. It has definitely made me a much more responsible person and helped me focus back on school again and block out the college distractions… My roommate was actually going to adopt the first dog if the people who came to meet her didn't, so he is probably going to end up adopting the new one were getting today. If he does adopt it we're planning on getting a little 1 month old puppy mix. The shelter/foster agency doesn't know the breed but they are adorable and would be fun to take care of and watch grow up. I would adopt one myself but my mom would absolutely kill me if I brought a dog home. Our family dog is her 3rd and favorite child haha, so fostering is the only way I can really have a dog of my own.
